WCREW 3rd Ward Walking Tour

Explore the Historic Third Ward with WCREW

📅 Tuesday, September 16 | 🕚 11:00 AM – 12:30 PM📍 Start: Historic Milwaukee (235 E Michigan St) | Ends at: Milwaukee Public Market

Join WCREW for an engaging, guided walking tour through Milwaukee’s Historic Third Ward—one of the city’s most vibrant and evolving commercial districts.

This 1-mile, 90-minute tour will explore the neighborhood’s transformation from its early Irish and Italian immigrant roots, through the devastating Great Fire, to its revival as a bustling district of warehouses, boutiques, condos, public spaces, and commercial development.

Highlights include:

• Key redevelopment milestones from the 1950s–1990s
• Historic architecture and adaptive reuse
• Current and upcoming real estate projects shaping the Third Ward today

This is a great opportunity to network with fellow WCREW members while gaining deeper insight into the economic and cultural forces that continue to influence Milwaukee’s urban growth.

Tour concludes at the Milwaukee Public Market—stick around for lunch (not included) or continued networking!
